Kinder Morgan (KMI) Notifies California Diesel Hubs' Operation
Read MoreHide Full Article
Kinder Morgan (KMI - Free Report) recently revealed that its renewable diesel (RD) hub projects in Southern and Northern California has officially entered full commercial operation. With the use of RD, diesel-powered vehicles, railroads and other machinery can run with considerably lower life-cycle emissions.
The company’s RD hubs are the most effective and least carbon intensive way to transport this low-emission fuel from the Los Angeles refinery region to San Diego and the Inland Empire, and from the San Francisco Bay area to Sacramento, San Jose, and Fresno. Both hubs’ initial phases are fully subscribed with customer commitments.
According to Dax Sanders, president of products pipelines at KMI, pipelines continue to be the safest and most cost-efficient mode of long-haul transportation for liquid fuels. He added that these projects offer a significant opportunity to switch to low-emission future energy sources while still supplying fuels that are in demand today.
Since the beginning of February 2023, the Southern California hub, which provides a throughput of up to 20,000 barrels per day (bpd) of mixed diesel across the two inland destination truck racks, has been supplying RD to San Diego. Recently, deliveries to Colton have also commenced.
The Southern California hub links maritime RD supplies entering the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach to the Los Angeles market via the truck rack at SFPP's Carson Terminal and to KMI's SFPP pipeline system for delivery to the Inland Empire and San Diego regions.
The Northern California hub, which transports RD (via the SFPP northern pipeline system at a throughput of 21,000 bpd) from the San Francisco Bay region to KMI's Bradshaw, Fresno, and San Jose terminals, is now commencing supply of RD to those markets. KMI made use of existing infrastructure for its Northern California hub, with potential capacity expansions in forthcoming phases.
